They will appear on two upcoming Double Crown Records compilations: 'Takin' Out The Trash: A Tribute To The Trashmen' and 'Seasonal Favorites, Volume 1'.
Here's what the press has said about 'The Intoxicating Sounds Of The Boss Martians':
"The Boss Martians are a boss instrumental band" -Joe Ehrbar, The Rocket
"Seattle's Boss Martians serve up four very traditional surf tunes including one christened 'The Continental Theme'. Can't remember the last label that had a theme song. Guitarist Evan Foster, one of the smoothest surf pickers in the biz, wrote all four tracks, the best of which is 'Highball At Hatties', a boss instro that melds the 60's instro approach with Phil Spector-like 1-2-3-4 tamborine. All four tracks are great fun. These guys just keep getting better & better." -D.J. Johnson, Cosmik Debris
"The sounds here are of the emotionally-charged, refined surf variety: melodic guitar with controlled reverb supported by a touch of sixties organ." -Alan Taylor, Pipeline Magazine
"An aptly titled (three of four songs are about alcohol) four song 7" of solid classic surf. The guitar/organ combo, strong drums and solid bass make this a fun single." -Roy Konitzer, Bullhorn Webzine
"Reverb-heavy instros from four guys outta Seattle that inspire a night out on the town drinking." -Make Room
"The facotr of surf-authenticity that this captures is the dichotomy between the clan cut look/feel of the musicians and the debauchery that was inherent to the scene/music. Good dichotomy, dude!" -Rocktober
